January 14–March for Abortion Rights–Protest “March for Life” Chicago
Chicago, IL • We welcome journalists and photographers to come to the counter protest of the anti-choice group “March for Life” Chicago. The March for Abortion Rights is co-sponsored by Refuse Fascism-Chicago and Friends Who March.
![]() WHEN: Sunday, January 14, 2018, rally begins at 2:00 pm “March for Life” claims they are pro-life but they take no stance with regard to life outside the womb. They are pro-gun, pro-capital punishment and pro-war. They hold no similar rallies for victims of police brutality or when the children of Detroit are poisoned by a tainted water supply. They do not protest when President Trump threatens North Korea with nuclear annihilation. They aim to take away women’s constitutional right to reproductive choice and do away with abortion, contraception, and comprehensive sex education. And they do not care that when abortion was illegal, women died. The March for Abortion Rights will voice its opposition to this right-wing group’s annual “March for Life.” Refuse Fascism recognizes that these anti-abortion, anti-women forces now have “friends” in the White House, with the Predator-in-Chief and Pence the Christian fascist. The Trump/Pence regime is taking steps to consolidate fascism: a society where the Handmaid’s Tale becomes reality. (See “What They Have Done Already,” below.) RefuseFascism.org calls for driving out the Trump/Pence regime through mass nonviolent protest in the streets and public squares, day after day and night after night, across the US. Activists from Refuse Fascism will be available for comments to the press. Chicago Media Contact Tricey Morelli, 773.808.4577 WHAT THEY HAVE DONE ALREADY
RefuseFascism.org is a movement of people coming from diverse perspectives united in our recognition that the Trump/Pence Regime poses a catastrophic danger to humanity and the planet and that it is our responsibility to drive them from power through non-violent protest.
